I get my gears for the GameCab flight yokes from them. <snipped> Charlie --- End quote --- Care to share the part numbers? --- End quote --- I use this part number for the 1/2 Inch shaft 57655K56. I use this part number for the 1/4 inch pot 57655K55. Both gears are perfect for the Yokes that I produce but be aware that you will have to add a set screw to both gears. Due to the fact that both gears are 100% nylon you can drill a small hole and add your own in no time at all. Keep in mind that the gears are not the cheapest priced as far as gears would go but they are of good quality. Charlie |

Just email me when you're ready to put it online -- I'll be very happy to post it :) My Yoke is at work right now, and my grips are elsewhere, but if you still need pictures of hte insides let me know and I can get them next week. --- saint --- Quote from: menace on March 02, 2004, 02:25:48 pm ---civic83 is doing a first draft read of the "how-to" and I still have to find some gears, but i don't think it will be a problem--I will ask saint if the site can host my how to when its done. I'm amazed there was no comment on the color of the grips--you must have been biting your tongue...it will all be painted gloss black when the time comes. --- End quote --- |

Thanks saint! I appreciate the webspace ;D--so far its just a word doc with pictures that sits around 2mb (50% done or so) but i'll forward it along when its all finished and proofed (as well as an engineer can proof writing that is ;)) |
| Stormy151:
Maybe an odd question, but could somebody with an original Atari yoke tell me how long/wide/deep the actual grips are? I know I could buy a set of grips from Bob Roberts or Happ, but I'd like to try my hand at making a set- more fun that way... :) |
| FractalWalk:
A handgrip on the Atari yoke is about 5"long, 1" wide and 2" deep at its widest part. |
